Kissassertainment Tonight

A competitive fighter himself, Robinson’s also the vocalist for art-rock band Oxbow and an award-winning journalist, and his eloquent monologue re-creates the "kickassertainment" featured in his invective-filled coffee-table book Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking But Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked For Asking.
